SB 202 Release on bail after conviction.

Introduced by: Emmett W. Hanger, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Release on bail after conviction. Provides that if a person is to be released on bail following his conviction for a violent felony, the court in exercising its discretion to grant post-conviction release on bail, must presume, subject to rebuttal, that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the person or the safety of the public. The bill also provides that a person who fails to appear after having been released on bail following his conviction and pending his sentencing will be punished in the same fashion as a person charged and released on bail prior to trial (i.e., Class 6 felony if felony conviction or Class 1 misdemeanor if misdemeanor conviction).
